If Sherlock Holmes was Isekai'd to a fantasy world he would just deduce the rules of this world and get back to solving crimes. He'll find an elf girl sidekick,name her Watson, and pretend like nothing happened.
This is the feelings wheel by Geoffrey Roberts, shown to me by my therapist. My initial thought was, "what amazing synonyms to use for diverse emotional vocabulary!"
More than that, this wheel is great for understanding your characters inner motivations and reactions to situations. For example, if a character constantly feels helpless, then their overarching characteristics will be that they are fearful.
Characters who are less emotionally aware may use words and act in the inner most circle. Those much more aware of their emotions may describe themselves or express and use words from the outer most circle.
Hopefully you guys find this as helpful as I did! Let me know down in the comments.
Happy Writing!

Despite the fact that I am not deaf, mute, or blind myself, one of the most common questions I receive is how to portray characters with these disabilities in fiction.
As such, I’ve compiled the resources I’ve accumulated (from real life deaf, mute, or blind people) into a handy masterlist.

the phrase “curiosity killed the cat” is actually not the full phrase it actually is “curiosity killed the cat but satisfaction brought it back” so don’t let anyone tell you not to be a curious little baby okay go and be interested in the world uwu

LISTEN. What if Nimueh tricked Uther and instead of taking Ygraine’s life to have Arthur she trades Uther’s. Ygraine doesn’t ban magic and maybe makes Balinor a lord although he travels around the kingdoms trying to round up all the dragons so he can protect them or something. Hunith insists on teaching Merlin that he has to work for things and not just demand them from people so Merlin grows up pretty much the same. Maybe him and Arthur meet as kids and they get into a fight in the court-yard and they come back to the castle covered in mud but grinning like idiots because they made a new friend. That was the only time they’d actually seen each other but they never forget. anD THEN AFTER A FEW YEARS. Ygraine throws a ball for Arthur’s 20th birthday and Arthur is talking to the knights and then they announce Merlin’s arrival(his parents were busy with the dragons and couldn’t come), anD HE’S DECKED OUT ON A GOLDEN SUIT AND ARTHUR GETS SO DISTRACTED HE SPILLS AN ENTIRE GOBLET OF WINE ON HIS CLOTHES AND ALL THE KNIGHTS ARE LIKE “the fuck????” and anyway obviously Merlin makes fun of him and they start the whole bickering/bantering friendship and obviously they fall in love and someone makes an off-hand comment about how Camelot’s colors have always been red and gold
